Directions

Heat the oven to 425°F. Place the cauliflower onto a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Roast for 30 minutes.

Stir the broth, curry powder, ginger root, cumin and cauliflower in the saucepot and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the cauliflower is tender.

Pour one third of the cauliflower mixture into a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until the mixture is smooth. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower mixture.  Stir in the cilantro and lemon zest.  Season to taste.
